"For the most part, the Shoreham is a hulking, fairly bland-looking 834-room convention-focused business hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Adjacent to Rock Creek Park, this grand hotel sits on 11 landscaped acres. A dynamic, luxury hotel that has hosted countless important guests and meetings."
Rough Guide "Plush institution bursting with history and overlooking Rock Creek Park."
Star Service "This convention-oriented hotel may be in an off-center location, but it's the only D.C. hotel with a true resortlike setting, thanks to 11 acres of rolling lawns and thickets flanking Rock Creek Park." Full review
Gayot "After a huge renovation, this facility is one of the city's top luxury chain hotels. It received a full face-lift, from its impressive lobby to the fitness center to each individual room."
BlackBook "At a whopping 834 rooms, not exactly bijou. Still, famous-because-it's-famous hotel is so heavy with history, it's become a "slept there" landmark and convention favorite."

""Huge" yet "charming", this "signature" 1930s-era venue on 11 acres is a "busy" conference host that also draws the leisure crowd due to its "super" location near a Metro station."
Travel + Leisure "The four-diamond Omni Shoreham hotel is set apart from the city bustle in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, near both the National Zoo and Rock Creek Park." Full review
Fodor's "This elegant landmark overlooking Rock Creek Park has been lovingly tended and is aging gracefully, still luring guests with light-filled guest rooms." Full review
Jetsetter "Storied DC hotel near Rock Creek Park, with presidential traditions, an American restaurant, an outdoor pool and a spa." Full review

"The 125-room River Inn offers great value. Its 450-square-foot suites have full kitchens and pullout couches." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The name is apt because of the remarkable view of the river, which is bound to put guests in a good mood after a tiring day of sightseeing."
BlackBook "Like the most sensible pair of dress shoes you own: pricey-but-not-too-pricey, classy, and oh so comfy."
Travel + Leisure "The all-suites hotel on a quiet street touts such special touches as full-size kitchens, coffee grinders and Potomac River views." Full review
Gayot "A boutique hotel with business facilities aplenty and sweeping city views."
Time Out "Once a family-friendly lodging that drew primarily government and college types, the River Inn was reinvented as a boutique hotel a few years ago." Full review
Frommer's "The River Inn is a comfortable refuge for all sorts except rabble-rousers. Most of the units in the all-suite property are studios, in which the bedroom and living room are combined." Full review

"The real reason to stay here is easy access to Georgetown on one end, and the White House on the other." Full review
